Norse Compound Gym — Local services in Concord

After years at commercial gyms I was blessed to have a friend tell me of Norse. 1- Epic vibes of strength, 2- community, 3- never really over crowded since it's 24/7, 4- instructions on best lifting form without judgement, 5- encouragement, 6- amazing gear that actually crosses over to my extreme sports and not just lifting.. or my daily clothing 7- great supplements, 8- music that fuels you.

Honestly I grew up lifting.. at gyms where people would randomly walk up and comment on outfits, my size, my abilities.. that doesn't happen here. What they do, if you need a spot, they are there. They will watch your form without creeping you out as a female. They will encourage you and never make you feel like you have failed. If you do miss a lift.. they critique it physically by what you may have done.. lost your shoulders or your core. And then they encourage you through doing it again. Do you have to speak up sometimes to build friendships.. yes. Why? Because they go in focused.. they don't go in to beat up on others or judge. When you let your guard down, you build a family.. When I am moving and my travel restrictions in house searches are my church and gym.. you know you found...

I have been training at this gym since march of this year. This gym by far has the best community and mindset for strength training on this side of the greater charlotte area. It is a fully outfitted gym with rogue equipment and racks, along with specialty equipment for targeted accessory training such as buffalo and safety squat bars, to strongman equipment with a variety of atlas stones, farmers walk implements, and yoke carry training equipment to provide variety in your training routine. Andy and Clint are both excellent people committed to seeing the gym succeed, and are always more than helpful with any questions you have, no matter how dumb you may think they are. If you are looking for a local gym with 24/7 access with great equipment and excellent gym culture, then...

Great gym, love the music and being able to go after I get off work at 2am.

Edit: I am still going to this gym, a year later, still a great gym that i would still highly recommend. Andy is committed to making the gym the best it can possibly be. I have seen more and better equipment being added to improve the experience and make working out both fun and effective.

So, all in all if you are looking for a great gym, that is locally owned and with a great atmosphere and variety of equipment, look no further and join! The icing on the cake is that the price is comparable to most real gyms (planet fitness doesn't count, obviously)...
